Ride looks super sweet bro, I'm new to these forums, so can you explain to me what the level kit and "PA Body Lift" do? Thanks

First, welcome to the forums!
The leveling kit levels the front to the rear of the truck. If you notice on a stock truck, it has a "nose heavy" stance to it. The level kit will do just that...get rid of the "nose heavy" stance and make it sit level.
The body lift is exactly that. There are spacers that get installed between body and frame, that give the truck a bit of extra room to mount tires. Ground Clearance though does not change.

As stated above ^. The leveling kit are new torsion key to replace the stock ones to lift the frontend and level the stance out. The one I used is Pro Comp and are 2.5" but think I only ran it up about 1 3/4 - 2", just enough to clear the 35's. Didn't want to create a big angle in the front axle joints and wear them out because of the angles. I also fab a set of 1.5" rear blocks out of steel plates to use on the rear. The only reason for that was to keep from having to adjust the head lights and I don't mind the frontend a little lower than the rear. When I step in the throttle it levels out pretty even, ha. The Performance Accessories body lift is what it sounds like. There blocks that go between the frame and the body to left the body and creates more room for the tires to clear. Its a cheap lift compared to a suspension lift, $350 compared to $2200 and not quite as labor intensive as a suspension lift. Hope that helps.

Got some pics on the body fillers I made. I only did the rear, don't really mind the front gap, it doesn't stand out as bad as the rear did.

what are your measurements from the ground to top dead center of your fenders?

Could you measure from the ground to the fender lip or from the ground to the roof of the cab? Does it still fit into your garage?

 

[FL8X]

Sorry for the delay on my response, got busy around here. It measure 44" to the center of the fender lip and 87-88" to the top of the roof. It does not fit in my garage but then its never been in my garage.

At the time the pics were taken I didnt have the grill in. I had them out painting them, scuffed them with 220 and used some caliper black paint. It a little better than regular paint and looks a lot better than the chrome.
